How We Scatter Ashes at Sea

We first cruise along to a suitable spot chosen by yourselves or the skipper. After the chosen ceremony, Which can be religious or non religious, the ashes are scattered into the Atlantic Ocean, to be dispersed in a natural manner by the actions of the tides and currents.

Me and the kids went on a trip out to the lighthouse to see the seals. Saw the lady selling tickets next to the lifeboat house, she's lovely. We tried seal island the year before and there weren't many so this was a different try. The tide was out so it made for a fun walk through the sea into the small ferry boat that took you to Dolly P. The staff onboard were knowledgeable about the wildlife and the lighthouse and we learnt a great deal. We saw loads of seals and the views were brilliant. It was fun standing at the back of the boat too getting sprayed. Would do this again

Fantastic trip out today to seal island. Lots of seals at the island and Mike gave some really interesting seal facts. Really enjoyable boat ride out to the island and a couple of rides in the tender sailed by Dan. Very professional crew. Would highly recommend.

Sehr gut organisiert und nette Mitarbeiter. Mel gewinnt den Preis für schnellste Sprecherin des Jahres. Während der Bootstour erfuhren wir viel über Delfine und Seehunde. Man konnte Fragen stellen, welche auch kompetent beantwortet wurden. Für nicht ganz reisekrankresistente wie mich empfiehlt sich eine Kotztüte mitzunehmen. Würde die Tour aber wieder buchen.

Fantastic time out on the ocean! The guide that was out with us was very friendly, knowledgeable and would definitely recommend a trip if you're stopping by. Had a lesson about seals mainly, but also a lesson why you shouldn't drop a water proof phone into the sea 😅😉 xx 10/10

Booked seal island trip today over phone, very easy to do. Lots of information given over the phone regarding the trip. Very polite, helpful from the beginning of tour when being transferred to Dolly P because of low tide. Lots of humorous moments. Very informative talk about the seals and their habitat. Would recommend this trip. Saw around 30 seals on the rocks, Mike explained what they were doing nd why. Book the trip you won’t be disappointed.
